REVISED SPECTROSCOPIC ORBITS FOR THE METALLIC-LINE BINARIES : ADS 8710 A AND 41 SEXTANTIS.

Abstract

ABSTRACT We present improved spectroscopic orbital elements for the metallic, double-line binary ADS 8710 A. We argue that it is not very likely that ADS 8710 A is an eclipsing binary as some researchers have suggested but we do in turn propose that it might possibly form a triple system with its closest optical companion, ADS 8710 B. We also verify the spectroscopic orbital solutions published by Worek, Beardsley, and King (1978) and Abt and Levy (1985) for the metallic, single-line binary 41 Sextantis.
